    The document discusses global warming, defining it as the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. It notes the average temperature has risen about 1 degree Celsius between the 18th and 20th centuries and could increase up to 3 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century. The main cause of global warming is increased greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture, and farming. The effects include melting glaciers, rising sea levels, endangered species, more droughts, and increased mosquito-borne diseases.

    green house gases. Gases like
    carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
    oxides, CFCs, etc. are called Green
    House gases. The following cause an
    increase in them :
    • Burning fossil fuels
    • Deforestation & Tree-Clearing
    • Agriculture & Farming

    What are its effects?

    • Melting Glaciers
    • Rising sea levels
    • Many species getting endangered
